Yes, but that depends on exactly what you are trying to achieve.

What do you mean exactly... do you want it permanently changed and updated in the database? Or just modified or formatted for the front-end?

$idDoc=l'id de ton doc;
$pagetitle=nouveau page title à mettre;

$doc=$modx->getObject('modResource',array(
    "id"=>$idDoc));
    $doc->set("pagetitle",$pagetitle);
    $doc->save();

j’espère que ça va t’aider

And you need to tell us which version of MODX you’re using.

I apologize for having provided so little information.

I’m using MODx Evo 1.0.5.
And I want to do the following thing:
I wrote a snippet that gets some information from query string params passed.
That snippet is called in document’s content.
And I need to change that document’s pagetitle depending on query string.
For example:
if query string param is http://site.com?fruits.html?id=1
I need that documents page title to become "Apples" and so on.
There is no need to change the pagetitle in database, only to user.

Excuse my English. I’m non-english speaker.

Well, I’m English and I wouldn’t have noticed if you hadn’t said

All we need to know now is where you will get the ’Apples’ value from. Does ’id=1’ match up with ’Apples’ somewhere in your database?

If you are able to get your snippet to return ’Apples’, you can either output it directly to the page where your snippet call is, or to a placeholder. Just place your snippet call or placeholder where [*pagetitle*] would normally be in your template.

To output to placeholder [+newTitle+] from your snippet:

<?php
$title = 'Apples';
$modx->setPlaceholder('newTitle', $title);
return;

Maybe something like this:
Create a new snippet with the code below named - ex: Fruit_title
Replace your [*pagetitle*] call with the snippet call - ex: [!Fruit_title!]

<?php
$fruit = isset($_GET['fruit']) ? intval($_GET['fruit']) : '';

switch($fruit){
    case '1':
        $output ='Apples';
    break;

    case '2':
        $output ='Oranges';
    break;
    
    case '3':
        $output ='Bananas';
    break;
    
    default: $output ='[*pagetitle*]';
}

return $output;
?>

Thaks to all of you.

lucas, my snippet retrieves data from database.

The only problem I had was to replace [*pagetitle*] (and other global placeholders) in my document. I had not thought of using custom placeholders. Your example is what I really need.

Thanks again!
